I've just changed to single can MTC for the very purpose of fitting a tool tube . I have one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorcycle...item2c73c7a10b in the garage but as you mention , not quite big enough !
Where are you getting your solvent weld ends from ? Got a link ?

The high front mudguard is an Acerbis Super Moto from OTR.

The lower guard at the front is An XTR item, available from your dealer for �15.

All the info on the mudguard mod can be found here.

I happened to get mine from Travis Perkins, only because I have an account with them. You should be able to get them from any builder�s merchants such as Jewson, Buildbase etc, or any plumber�s merchants like PTS. You can get them online from plastics suppliers, but the delivery is often expensive if you only want a few quids worth of stuff.

These are the ones I�ll be using�

looking good!!

How does your new zorst (with DB killer) compare to an MTC (with DB killer)?

Also i presume that is an exhaust clamp holding on your tool tube?

I would say the Exan is quieter than a baffled MTC (compared with those that I've heard anyway).

The Exan has a completely different design of Db killer than MTC, Akrapovic, Leo Vince etc. Its not your typical "pepper pot" type. I'll try an post a photo to illustrate this.

Yep. The main body and weight of the tube is supported by a 110mm strap type silencer hanger. The front (non-opening) end will have a steady attached to it.

This is exactly the set up i want. At first i use to keep my tools in a rucsack along with other emergency stuff. But it took a lot of the enjoyment away having to carry them and the extra prep time. Now against my better judgement i fly out of the house with too few hours before dark, making every minute count, up into the mountains. The lack of tools, etc,, is a constant worry.
I also prefer the single can, my bike came with l/v cans, Is it possible to grind the secondary can off and get the hole covered and welded? Or is there more to it?

Yes. Perfectly possible, but it may well be loud!! The LV system is setup for two cans to do the silencing, so with only one you may need to do some repacking of the can and perhaps a bit of remodelling of the dB killer?

Great, interested to see how you will attach the front of the pipe. Are you using glue to attach the threaded section to the pipe?

Here's a picture of the baffle/dB killer as promised. Not your typical "pepper pot" type, but works well without interrupting gas flow too much as the opening is quite wide and it allows plenty of room around the sides too. The plate does enough to catch and interrupt the high pressure pulse from each exhaust stroke.

I wonder if you wouldn't mind explaining that to and exhaust dummy like me. What's its purpose and how do you intend to modify it
